I know there isn't much else to do in a DTV thread as there aren't many routes/airlines to discuss
You have hit the nail on the head,because of the above quote and the fact that in the near future the chances of the introduction of new routes/airlines will not happen in the present economic climate.Airlines will only utilise their aircraft to make a profit,that's why Newcastle,Leeds are still attracting new routes etc.The continual drop in passenger numbers does not help the situation.The introduction or the hope of acquiring new routes and new airlines is really just a wish list of the diehard supporters of DTV.
This thread used to be one of the first that I viewed after reading about my own local airport Leeds/Bradford.This thread is now degenerating into a anti Peel thread and worse.The content relating to DTV used to be interesting and enjoyable to read,but not anymore it's just becoming rather boring. I hope the contributors take note.
